[SOFT] GameList Editor 2022

@paulska Exactly... I tried to remark it in the description -for mass scraping better keep using other tools like Skraper.net, but when it comes to refining a few games -missing images, missing videos, reorganizing with default picture for the ones missing it, and in general fine tuning... this tool was my favorite -looks awesome, it had been made with a great care for User Interface / User Experience- and I did not want to see it die :).

Tested the GameList Editor and read my directories correctly. However, no covers are shown to me. I can't change them either. I'll get the Error Message "The roms/console/images directory is not found". But the correct path is: "roms/console/media/images". Can you fix this please?

[adelcampo]

@tom73 That is very strange... my set has a mix of systems like gb\mixart, gb\snap, and others like fbneo\media\images, fbneo\media\videos and both show without problems. Could you check your gamelist.xml file and make sure it had the right paths set? Is it working with any other program? Did it work and stop working after doing something?
If your gamelist.xml is pointing to the wrong directories, you can easily do a Replace all occurrences in the file with Notepad to change to the right directory.

[Tom73]

"console" is only a example path for snes or nes or mame etc. Sorry I didn't express myself clearly.

It is working with skraper.

[adelcampo]

@tom73 yes, the console part I assumed. Have you checked the gamelist.xml file to see if the image and video paths are correct? -that they include the "media" folder in between, and not directly the images folder? I don't know if Skraper has a separate configuration that allows it to point to the right folders when downloading them, but if gamelist.xml is wrong, that is the first place to address -to make sure it points to the right folders there. Once having a correct gamelist, if you find any scenario in which GL Editor corrupts in any way the file, let me know (how to reproduce the corruption) and I will be happy to fix it.

[Tom73]

This is my folder structure:

The GamelLst Editor look into "roms/megadrive/images" and not "roms/megadrive/media/images"

Why is that? I didn't change anything, it is a clear recalbox install on the sd cart.

[adelcampo]

@tom73 I would assume the roms and media did not come in a clean Recalbox install? If you used Skraper to get the media, did it also update gamelist.xml? Did you copy it as well back to the SD card? -assuming you scraped it outside of it.
That file is located in roms/console/gamelist.xml and it has entries for each game, each with its own path to image and video. If gamelist.xml is pointing to the wrong directory, there is little we can do. The only thing is find out when that gamelist.xml started to point to the wrong folders, but my suspicion is that you may have scraped it outside, and copied the updated media but not the updated gamelist.xml to the card? You seem to keep ignoring my request to check gamelist.xml?

[Tom73]

This is how my gamelist.xml look like:

Looks like we probably do have a corner case issue in the app here... I am taking this offline with Tom to find out more and get a hotfix made as soon as I find out what is triggering that.

Thank you for the hotfix. Unfortunately haven't had time to test this yet. As soon as I have time I will do so. Thanks again for that.

@Paulska said in [SOFT] GameList Editor 2022:

I use Skrapper but that doesn't check if image for a particular rom has already been scraped. It just deletes everything and starts over.
Does this version of yours check for previously scrapped games? or at least check if image is already there?
or is it per game scraping?

It checks if the ROM image has been scraped to avoid overwriting.
